  • Patent number: 8098136
    Abstract: Integrated switch systems and methods for locating ID tags are disclosed. One system includes an application, a plurality of different tag readers in communication with the ID tags, and an integrated switch configured to enable the application to receive tag information from the different tag readers. An integrated switch includes multiple reader adapters, an application adapter, and a virtualization core. The virtualization core is configured to provide a common interface between each tag reader and the application. One method includes receiving a first signal from a first tag reader and receiving a second signal from a second tag reader, the first and second signals having information related to first and second ID tags, respectively. The method also includes normalizing the first and second signals such that the signals are compatible with the application and transmitting an ID tag report based on the normalized first and/or second signal to the application.

  • Publication number: 20090085743
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling RF reader operations based the location of the RF reader. One method includes determining that the RF reader is located within a zone associated with an access level and enabling or disabling the RF reader based on the access level. A system includes multiple access ports (APs) defining multiple zones including an access level for the RF reader. The system also includes a switch configured to determine a present zone of the mobile RF reader and enabling the RF reader based on the access level of the present zone. Another system includes means for receiving a signal from an access port and means for determining a location of the RF reader based on the signal, the location associated with an access level. The system also includes means for enabling or disabling the RF reader based on the access level.

  • Publication number: 20090085741
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of an RFID reader within an environment having a plurality of RFID tags located therein. One method includes activating a tag via an RFID reader and receiving data from an RFID tag. The method also includes transmitting the data from the reader to an access port and determining the location of the reader based on the data. A system includes an RFID tag configured to transmit data when activated by an RFID reader. Furthermore, the system includes an access port configured to receive the data from the reader and a module configured to receive the data and determine the location of the reader based on the data. One RFID reader includes means for activating an RFID tag including data identifying a location of the tag, means for receiving the data, and means for transmitting the data to an access port.

  • Publication number: 20090082015
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling mobile unit access to network services based on the location of the mobile unit are disclosed. One system includes determining if the mobile unit is located within an area and enabling access to the network services, by the mobile unit, in response to determining that the mobile unit is located within the area. A system includes a reader configured to determine if a mobile unit is located within the area and a switch coupled to the reader. The switch is configured to provide access to the network services, to the mobile unit, in response to the reader determining that the mobile unit is located within the area. An apparatus includes means for determining if a mobile unit is located within the area and means for enabling the mobile unit to access the network services in response thereto.

  • Publication number: 20090077620
    Abstract: Described are a method and a system for granting and denying network access to a device based on a location of that device. A method includes determining a current location of at least one mobile unit, permitting network access to a wireless network to the mobile unit if a network access policy of the mobile unit is configured to permit network access for the current location, and denying network access to the wireless network to the mobile unit if the network access policy of the mobile unit is configured to restrict network access for the current location.

  • Publication number: 20090033500
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining the location of an individual (e.g., emergency personnel) within an environment having a plurality of RFID tags located therein. A system includes a wearable RFID reader removeably attached to the individual (e.g., on his/her wrist, or uniform), wherein the wearable RFID reader is configured to activate and receive data from a plurality of RFID tags located (e.g., previously deployed) therein. An access port is positioned external to the environment and is configured to receive the data from the wearable RFID reader. A locationing module is communicatively coupled to the access port and is configured to determine the location of the individual within the site based on the data acquired from the at least one RFID tags.
